Super Serum or Mama's Helper around the eye area?

Post by Charz » Sat Oct 13, 2012 11:03 pm

Is it appropriate to use Super Serum and/or Mama's Helper around the eye area? I use the Cucumber gel as well, but I'd like something a little stronger - my skin is a bit dark and sunken in around that area for some reason.

I just ordered Mama's Helper sample.

I can't use Super Serum (at all) or the SN eye treatment in the eye area. I get blotchy as I have sensitive skin.

I would love to know if others can use Mama's Helpers under the eyes.

I'm sensitive to Super Serum too, but Mama's Helper didn't cause any reaction. I have discoloration at the corner of my eyes, and I have been applying it there without issues. I can't wait for the full-size, my skin loves it in the morning and evening. I'm very happy about this one, as the only serum I can use, and only occasionally at this point is Facelift and I even react to that. Awesome Sauce made me break out and Super Serum gave me lobster face. Yay for Mama's Helper!

Have you tried on of the general hydrating serum for around your eyes? I would hesitate to use something as strong as Super Serum, but I have had luck with a little Momma's Helper, too. (Love that stuff!)

Thanks for the responses! I do have a bottle of Green Tea and Aloe but it was definitely breaking me out after a few days of use (I know, it's weird, it's such a gentle serum and yet I don't react to Super Serum or Momma's Helper) so now I'm just using it up on my legs, lol. I'll try a bit of the Momma's Helper around my eyes then.

On a sidenote; Jen, would you recommend I stick with Momma's Helper or try the Awesome Sauce? I'm 23 so I thought the Renovage might be too much, but now I'm wondering if I'm missing out. My skin needs a lot of help - acne prone, scarring, redness, dullness, the lot. I am also rotating with a Super Serum sample at the moment and these two are helping immensely.

Yep, I think the Renovage is a little too much for you at this point if the Mamma's Helper works....maybe when you are closer to 30.

Awesome, thanks Jen. I agree with the other suggestions to rename the Momma's Helper serum to make it clearer that a large range of people can use it - people like me, for example :) It is so nice to have options with SN skincare.
